Thanks, I didn't even know you could adjust it. That's great. As a new rider, I'm still trying to figure out where to position my right foot while I'm riding. With the pedal in the current position, I think I might be riding the brake if I cover it.

The bike was kept on a Tender the whole time. I thought I might need a new battery but the shop said it was fine. The first day, however, I stalled and after a couple of attempts to restart, the battery didn't have enough juice to start. But after a push start and some riding it was fine, and has been since then. I got a multimeter and checked the battery, got a Tender just in case, but ended up returning it.
